February Event and Intro Log
Orientation Week/Magic Mayhem
The campus of Diatu Magicademy stretches out before you, confused and chaotic and surging with energy. Where are you headed? To your dorm or suite, to get settled? Maybe you need some food now? Wherever you head off to as your first stop, you have to deal with the snow. Helpful or proud students are passing out various magical remedies to get you where you need to be -- umbrellas with a nasty tendency to dump snow directly onto other people nearby, an iron tube that projects fire but appears to have no off switch, snowshoes that keep you slightly too high off the snow and thus provide no friction for stopping...
Familiar Follies
Familiars do not harass or harm each other as a rule -- but that doesn't mean they have no pecking order, and the week of Orientation finds them all jockeying for status and position as suits them. This can take the form of pranks, displays, competitions, or simple physical assertiveness towards each other. The goal is simply to be seen as superior by the student body. New wizards especially may find themselves surprised at this behavior of their familiars...
Research On the Sundered
With the arrival of the Sundered come those wizards engaged in research on their presence here, now set to investigate what brought them here and how to get them home. All Sundered students are asked to meet with representatives of the research team, to introduce themselves and relate what they will of their homes. In addition, the team requests samples of blood, hair, and skin -- carefully magically collected, and the researchers will sign in the presence of the Sundered a Glyphed contract that forbids them from using the samples for a purpose they know will be harmful. (They quite understand your reasons to be suspicious of this collection! And they will not compel anyone who refuses even given these conditions.)
Furthermore, they request to perform a few spells on you for testing purposes. It is, quite regrettably, possible that if you consent to this testing, you will come away with a temporary side effect -- a slight change of hair color, traveling two steps for every one you take, one hand moving about a second behind the arm it should be attached to, or being ridden by a penguin. No need to worry, these changes won't last more than a day!

Well, yeah! It's...
[... Oh. If Lena didn't exist, then time must've... stopped for her. Was it only the power of this world that brought her back...?
She swallowed hard. Don't think about it. She smiles shakily.]
... It's been a while, but, time flies when you're trying to escape a man-eating plant!
no subject
And a glance from Webby tells her that she doesn't want to think about it right now either. So she files that away for another time
or never, that's an option too.]...yeah, I bet. How'd that happen anyway?
[It's always just easier to let Webby talk, anyway. It means less focus on her.]
no subject
[Hand-in-hand with Lena, she heads to the warm dorms, detailing each and every adventure since then - she doesn't know what to hold back, and so, doesn't, even the embarrassing and gross parts.
Everything will be okay now, right? Of course it will. They're friends again, and nothing will tear them apart.
Webby won't let it.]
